Our neighbors wanted to go for a 4wheeler ride so we suggested going out to the Kofa Wildlife Refuge. We had tried this ride by ourselves but never made it to the Big Eye mine because we ran out of time. The road we wanted was the road to the Castle Dome museum which is about a 40 minute drive from where we live in the foothills of Yuma. We started out twenty minutes ahead of our friends knowing we would need extra time to get to the parking area where we can unload our 4wheeler to start the ride. The road to the refuge starts out paved through the Yuma Proving Grounds and then turns to very wash board gravel. We had to crawl over the wash board road because our truck rides so rough we get rattled to death. We just got parked an unloaded when our friends caught up with us and they had stopped for gas.
We started the ride from the parking area at the kiosk for the refuge. These are the first pictures I took. The first one is Castle Dome peak and the second one is Thumb peak. Our ride was going to take us all the way to the back side of thumb peak and then some. It was a beautiful day with temps in the low 70's and not much wind. It had rained a week or so before so it wasn't even dusty!
